I have no real world experience with the KVH A-5, but the only downside (to me) of this very low profile unit, was having to use the KVH receiver, instead of your regular DTV or Dish receiver. I am unaware of any other issues that might make it less than a perfect addition to a clean roofline.

That might be a good thing, [using their reciever] because my 115v reciever from my house causes a problem, Seems everytime I switch from park power to Inverter the split second it takes to switch, the reciever goes into Search for satelite!

So the 12v model that comes with the A-5 may be the way to go, this way I know my 12v system is uninteruptable!!

Reckon how long the A-5 would remain unstolen on the roof of the van as pictured in the KVF promo pix? First evil doer that knew what it was would have it. Or they'd have the complete roof rack with the satellite dish attached. Still a nice looking alternative to the big domes. Anyone have one?
